<p>Alton Towers is a&nbsp;theme park&nbsp;and&nbsp;water park in&nbsp;Staffordshire,&nbsp;England. It is home to tons of terrific rides, blockbusting attractions, amazing live shows, and weird and wonderful costume characters.</p>

<p>Similar to other major theme parks, the park is divided into a number of different zones, each one featuring a specific theme.</p>

<p>Major attractions include&nbsp;Nemesis,&nbsp;Oblivion,&nbsp;Air,Runaway Mine Train,&nbsp;Congo River Rapids,&nbsp;Hex &ndash; The Legend of the Towers,&nbsp;Rita,&nbsp;Thirteen&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Smiler.&nbsp;</p>

<p>CBeebies land is great for the smaller kids who will recognise a lot of characters.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;Alton Towers Waterpark&nbsp;opened in 2003. It consists of several pools and slides including the Master Blaster water coaster. The waterpark&nbsp;carries a tropical Caribbean theme.</p>

<p>It can be expensive so look for vouchers in Tesco&#39;s to make it more affordable. Also, be aware of the long queues in high season.</p>
